| 1 A Trusted Resource to Track Key Votes in K-12 Education

The Friends of ASBA, a sister organization of the Arizona School Boards Association and separate 501(c)(4) corporation, is dedicated to leading a more informed public discussion of K-12 education in Arizona and fostering greater understanding and support for our public schools and the more than 1 million students who attend them. Our mission, as a board of directors comprised of current and former school board members from throughout Arizona, is providing a strong, equal-access, issue-focused voice that is unabashedly pro-public education.

The Friends of ASBA is focused on educating the people of Arizona so we, as a state, continue to prioritize a quality public education for all children as both a civic and an economic virtue.

This publication focuses on the impact of the Arizona Legislature, specifically the votes of individual legislators on key bills impacting K-12 education and district public schools. On these pages, we look at voting records of Arizona legislators on 8 significant bills introduced last session that focused on issues of key importance to school districts.

School board members and other school district leaders will be familiar with the color-coded voting records format, which provides at-a-glance insights into the level of support – or lack of support – each Arizona legislator provided for Arizona public school districts and the local school boards who govern them.

This fifth edition of the Friends of ASBA voting record contains updated additional legislative district data that illuminates the populations and constituents served, voter participation and registration from the 2018 election, and indicates whether your state representatives supported advancing a pro K-12 education agenda this session.

The first session after an election is a good opportunity to take stock of where we stand relative to promises made on the campaign trail. It’s important to honor those state representatives who support our work to bolster and better our state’s public schools and hold accountable those who do not.

We encourage you to share this resource far and wide.

Sincerely,

Friends of ASBA Board of Directors

2 | Using the Voting Records

Arizona’s 90 elected state legislators serve constituents in our state’s 30 legislative districts. Each district has two representatives, who serve in the state House of Representatives, and one senator, who serves in the State Senate. On the following pages, you will find an overview of each legislative district and a record of legislators’ votes to highlight those who support and do not support public education in Arizona.

The information is separated into two pages. The first includes data about the legislative district itself with the names and party affiliation of each elected representative, the partisan split of registered voters, and data regarding voter turnout in the 2018 general election. It also includes the most recently available census data on race/ethnicity of the total population, and the population under age 18 within the district. Also, note the number of school districts within each legislative district and the student enrollment of each.

The second page displays the voting record of each legislator in that district on key K-12 education bills.

Friend of Public Education

For the third time, legislators will be rated on whether their overall record during the session was supportive of public education or not, in the estimation of Friends of ASBA. This rating is based on voting record, but also how helpful (or not) a given legislator was in advancing the ASBA political agenda during the legislative session, and how the legislator acted toward public education in general. A legislator may earn thumbs up, thumbs sideways or thumbs down. This is based in part on the member’s voting record, but also on other issues that may occur behind the scenes, such as helping to get bills heard (or not) in committee, helping to prevent bad bills from advancing, etc. Helpful actions are recognized by “extra credit.” This is intended to help our supporters determine at a glance which legislators have been helpful to the mission Arizona public schools and the 1 million-plus students who attend them. You will note that the closer partisan split has had something of a moderating influence on this Legislature, though there are still many clear distinctions. Last year, legislators who received thumbs up for both 2017 and 2018 were labeled “champions of public education with a special trophy icon.” This is a new Legislature, so those icons are not included. They will return next year in advance of the 2020 general election.

| 7 What the Timeline for Census 2020 Looks Like

Preparing for Census 2020 begins long before Census Day and work continues until the counts are delivered to the president. The U.S. Constitution requires a count – or census – of the United States’ population each decade. These census results determine the number of seats for each state in the U.S. House of Representatives and the distribution of more than $675 billion in federal funds each year that impact public schools and communities. For example, public schools receive federal funds based on census counts for the National School Lunch Program, special education (IDEA) grants, Head Start/Early Head Start, Title I grants to local education agencies and health center programs as well as child care and development entitlement funds. It’s important to remember that your census responses and personal information are protected by law and remain confidential. Census responses may only be used by the U.S. Census Bureau to produce statistics. Census responses cannot be shared with immigration or law enforcement or be used to determine a person’s eligibility for government benefits.

Here is a timeline for some of the key dates for Census 2020.
